Omega Genève Automatic Date – Ref. 162.0060 – Cal. 1012 – Circa 1974 Offered here is an elegant and increasingly collectible Omega Genève Automatic Date, reference 162.0060, produced in approximately 1974 and powered by the respected Omega Calibre 1012 automatic movement. The Genève line represented Omega’s successful blend of reliability, modern design, and everyday wearability during the 1970s. This particular example stands out with its distinctive cushion-shaped case, a design language strongly associated with the era and highly appreciated by vintage Omega collectors today. The watch features its original silver sunburst dial, preserved in honest vintage condition. The dial displays attractive radial brushing, applied baton indexes with black inlays, original Omega logo and Genève signature, and a framed date aperture positioned at 3 o’clock. Careful examination reveals age-related patina, small marks, and light spotting throughout the dial surface, particularly around the outer perimeter and lower section. These characteristics are consistent with a genuine 50-year-old original dial and contribute to the watch’s authentic vintage charm. The gold-plated bezel remains visually attractive and frames the dial beautifully, while the stainless steel case back and middle case create a pleasing two-tone appearance. The cushion-shaped case retains strong geometry and sharp lines, showing only normal signs of wear expected from decades of careful ownership. Inside is the Omega Calibre 1012, one of Omega’s most important automatic movements of the 1970s. This Swiss-made movement features 23 jewels, automatic winding, quick-set date functionality, and a robust construction that helped establish Omega’s reputation for reliable everyday watches. The movement shown in the photographs is original to the watch and presents well visually. Timekeeping is good for a vintage timepiece of this age. The watch is fitted with a modern brown leather strap and aftermarket gold-tone buckle. Neither the strap nor the buckle is original to Omega.
